New Haven Urban Canopy Parklet

We're excited to be featured in the Princeton Alumni Weekly! Look out for the Urban Canopy Parklet to return to a parking spot near you in April :)

Yale architecture graduate students Misha Semenov ’15 and Kassandra Leiva ’15 (and their dog, Daphne) appear inside their creation: an urban parklet. The modular structure, which was unveiled last summer and placed in the Fair Haven neighborhood in New Haven, Conn., offers seating, tables, and live foliage. The parklet is meant to inspire contemplation and connection with native ecology — a notion that Semenov and Leiva call ecoempathy.

The real trees have lost their leaves, and so have ours... Thanks to the amazing New Haven Parks Dept for a smooth move into winter storage. See you next spring and thanks to all who made this season possible 🙂

Today is our last day on the street before snow season! We'll be back in April, but for now please come and check the New Haven Urban Canopy Parklet out on its last day in Fair Haven :)
